Welcome to the most convoluted and ridiculous part of owning a DJI drone..... first, if you look at the DJI maps there are several different colors near airports.. the red one you have to sell your mother to the government to fly in... the blue (authorization zone) one you can fly in with an...

DJI may have created a great product but their software engineers (I could use another name for them) just plain are idiots.... why just about when I finally figure out their latest way to unlock an authorization zone they change the set up.... it seems there was a short time when I could do...

I actually got it to work... the smart controller for the Mavic 2 pro controlling the mini-2.... now how is hard to explain... I updated the firmware in the mini-2 and it still would not work... I tried several ways to connect with the controller and then decided I might need to update the...

I also have a Mavic 2 pro with the controller and the mini 2.... I've tried to connect the two and so far can't... all instructions say to turn on the controller and choose the mini 2... which I can do but then they say hold the power button down on the mini 2 for four seconds and they will...

What turned me off, even before I saw the price, was when I checked the specs.... seems they don't have the time or energy to convert the numbers from metric to standard.... but then over half the stuff they listed there, even if they did do the conversions, I would not have a clue what it...

I just discovered this past week that the altitude showing on the controller is the altitude above your take off point.... assuming the drone gets a good gps signal before taking off. Another thing I discovered while trying to chase down a fishing boat out on the ocean with my mini 1.... I...

It is obvious to me why the Yuneec H520 did better than the others.... 6 props have to give the thing more control and ultimately power against the wind than the standard 4.

Now, to get back to the original subject, can someone explain to me how if and when this RID thing goes into effect that the average 'gun totem redneck' or any other 'common citizen' is going to know where and who is flying a drone?

That means you don't have a 'regular citizens' permit but are allowed to carry because you used to work for the government. First, thank you for your service, I have no problem with you being allowed to carry... but us regular common folks who are by our leader's standards 'lesser citizens'...

How do you have a concealed carry permit for all 50 states when there are states that you can't carry or several that will only honor a permit from their state? Unless you are a special government employee... FED... this is not possible.

I have not watched it but probably would agree... I would like one of the dji software engineers to explain to me why I have to check off that I'm responsible for flying my drone SIX different times when getting and attempting an unlock code and then taking off in an authorization zone...

The FAA did not shut your mini down... it did it all on it's own because of where you were and the GPS on it.... there is a map inside the mini that will not allow it to fly in certain areas.... it probably took that first 10ft to get a good GPS location and then it's down to the ground and now...

Actually I agree with you guys who chastised me above.... yes we are a republic and yes we need the FAA but here is my question assuming the original poster's report is true... so, yesterday when I went out and inspected the top of two chimneys for money with my drone and I thought I was...

On the face of it, it makes sense until you realize this is just another example of a government bureaucracy making law that we have really no control over.. call one of your senators or congress men or women and ask them if they voted on this.... THINK ABOUT IT!... if a government agency has...

I've for the last year and a half been able to fight my way through DJI's unlock website for the authorization zone I have to work in... for the last month or more there is no place on the menu of my controller to do this...... I'm now trying to up grade my firmware or such and a window...
